There is still a UK allocation smack in the midlle of the old band......now
in the VT Comms (Anthorn?) portfolio I guess.....this made reception very
difficult here when it was continually idling at Rugby. They might be less
understanding about an amateur band there than BT/Admiralty was. It seemed
significant that the NoV were terminated when VT took over that service.
